ITHACA, NY. April 3o.-ln his lecture
here before the professors and students Of
Cornell University, last evening. on 'tRe-
cent Changes of English Polity,n Prof.
Goodwin Smith, the English historian, re-
piled TO the question why should not
Ireland have Home Rule?" as follows:
eve English are not confederation;
You cannot make us confederation with
out totally altering or subyerting The
British constitution, without doing away
with the sovereign power of Parliament
and without making Scotland, ireland and
Wales each a State Even If 50 funda-
mental revolution should he thought Of,
the component parts of the United King
dom would not be fit for a Federal Union.
That requires group of equally powerful
States, aud by such confederation You
would have Ireland, and Scotland Wales
in cabal against England"
Professor Smith advised his hearers to
guard against the tone and tendency of the
American press, which, he said, was not so
impartial as the Liberal press in Europe.
He regarded the outlook for the British
nation as not very bright People begin
TO talk of terrible things inasmuch as the
English nation has slidden uneonsciously
into democracy without revising her con-
stitutiOn, and with no safeguards. Politi-
cal wisdom seems now ut low ebb. and
the traditional good sense of the English
people can only be looked TO for tiding the
ship of state through the present crisis.

New YORK, April 3O.-A conveyance of
all the residuary estate of Samuel ]. Til
den, exceeding probably $4,000, 600, has
has been made TO the Tilden trust, and
was filed to-day. 1t is made by the eXecu-
tors and trustees of the will. The Tilden
trust undertakes in this document to APP
ply the part so conveyed to the establish
ment and maintenance of free library
and reading room i'll New York City, and
to save and keep apart sufficient sum ont
of the property to secure against loss any
of the other trusts appointed by the will
from any shrinkage of securities.
Leading lawyers are of the opinion that
the action OF the executors in making this
conveyance will prevent the Tilden heirs
from getting any part of the residuary es-
tate even though they win the suit now
pending.

Breaking Up the Dives.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, April 3O.-A
widow lady aged about 20, named Mary
Ann Ollerich, has just received notice
from thePensiOn Department at Washing
ton, that check will he sent her for 81
500 back pension money, and in the future
she will receive $l2 month. The applI-
cation for the pension has been pending
for a number of years, and has just been
granted. She had son killed in the army,
and husband wounded. Her application
for pension was on account oil the death OF
her son, but her husband living good

waited until her husbands death before

Under the new Chief of Police, Capt.
Mehen, it is going to be dangerous to keep
saloons in full blast on Sunday. A begin
ming of the reform was made last Sunday,
and the Captain expresses his intention of
carving out the law in this respect
strictly. The houses of i'll repute are To
be raided and broken up. AS Capt Mehen
is holy terror when he gets after any
thing and everybody who knows him
knows it, his announcement of breaking
up all these immoral places has had
a good effect already. For n num-
Der of months a variety theater and
saloon of low order has been in
operation here. At the meeting of the
Council a petition signed by eleven hun
dred persons was presented asking that it
be granted no license The Council failed
as body to grant the petition, four two
Republicans and two Democrats) voting
against the license, and four lall Demo
Gratis in favor. The Mayor, John s.
Camden, gave the deciding vote that a
| license would be issued with additional
bond. 1t il DOW understood that the the
atre proprietor will soon fold his tent and
steal away, not giving the additional
security.
The heavy rains have done a good deal
for the fruits and crops. In conversation
this morning with a gentleman who has
spent several days the past week over this
county, he said that the prospect is excel
lent for a most abundant fruit crop OF all
kinds; that wheat, owing 10 the drOuth OF
last fall failing to get good start, is thin
in places, but has not been otherwise in

he said: son Thursday morning, the day
of the assault on Miss Bowman, was Al
the Maple street depot when the Bards
town train arrived, at 10 O'Clock. AfteI
the arrival of the train l walked to
Twelfth and Madison streets (about foul
blocks) and met Willie Woods, eoal
wagon driver, on his way with load ol
coal to Magazine street. We talked lew
minutes about a woman, and Woods asked
me 10 90 along with him. went and
STAYED with him until after he delivered
the coal. Then we went to woman
house Oh back street and stayed some
time. told this story TO Chief Whailen,
but he would not look it up for me.
A reporter Immediately started out to
hunt MP Woods, and about 2 o'clock tins
morning found him. On being told what
Patterson said, he stated that he had de-
livered load of coal at No. 23l1 Magazine
street, and on his way there had met Pat
terson at the corner of Twelfth and Madi-
son, about half-past ten, but he did not
remember whether it was on Wednesday
1.-THE day before the assault) or ON Thurs
day.
The reporter then visited the house OF
Mr.. Christ O'Connor, bOok-keeper for
O'Neil & Co. flor whom Woods drives,
and after getting him out of bed told him
that the life of Patterson depended upon
what he was going to ask him. The re-
porter asked him to 60 with him and ex-
anime the coal ticket referred to by
Woods. If the date of the ticket was April
81, then Patterson's alibi was established
and he was innocent, and if on the day pre-
viOus, he had lied.
Mr.. O'Connor willingly consented to 60
to the Office, and, hurriedly dressing him.
self, jumped into hack with q reporter
and drove to the office. An examination
of the delivery book showed that the load
of coal was ordered ON April Goth, but not
delivered until the following morning.
The ticket was then examined and the
fact was established that Patterson had
told the truth, and that the Chief of the
Louisville Police had made no effort to
ascertain what truth there might be in
Patterson's assertion that he could prove
an alibi, even though he knew that it was
almost certain that Patterson wonld be
lynched. The coal ticket read as follows:

Simply a suggestion.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Assistant Sc
cretary MuldrOw, of the Interior Depart
ment, in an interview about the reported
differences between department officials
and the President, growing out of the lat
ter's letter GR Ahe Guih0rd-IhHler land
case, says there is not the least foundation
for the statement that there is conflict
between the President and the Secretary of
the Interior on this subject.
Mr.. MuldrOw says it is not trae that the
Presidents letter was given to the press
before it was received at the Interior De
partmeut. The Presidents communica-
ton was on the SeCretary's table the day
before it was printed in the newspapers.
He says there is a desire OH the part of GER
tain carping and criticising newspapers TO
create the impression that the President
and the Interior Department are in dis
pute on this subject, but such is not the
fact
